Description
This application is a continuation of now abandoned application Ser. No. 815,309, filed Dec. 31, 1985, which is a continuation of now abandoned application Ser. No. 688,146, file of Dec. 31, 1984, which is a Rule 60 Division of Ser. No. 500,801, filed June 7, 1983, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,540,704, which is a Rule 62 Continuation of Ser. No. 284,566 filed July 17, 1981, now abandoned.
This invention relates to novel hydantoin derivatives having excellent pharmaceutical properties and to compositions containing the same. More particularly, the invention relates to the hydantoin derivatives represented by the general formula: ##STR2## wherein X1 and X2, which may be the same or different, independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a lower alkoxy gorup, Y represents an oxygen atom or sulfur atom, R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, independently represent a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or phenyl group, or the both may form a ring with carbon atoms which are combined with them, excluding the case wherein both R1 and R2 are hydrogen atoms, and n represents an integer of 0 or 1, and salts thereof an pharmaceutical compositions containing the same.
In the general formula [I], the lower alkyl or alkoxy groups as set forth in the definitions of X1, X2, R1 and R2 mean an alkyl group of straight or branched chain, containing 1-6 carbon atoms, for example, an alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isoamyl, n-hexyl or the like, or an alkoxy group on the basis of such alkyl groups. The halogen atom as set forth in the definition of X1 and X2 means, from a practical standpoint, chlorine, bromine, iodine or fluorine. The ring as set forth in the definition of R1 and R2, which is formed by the both and carbon atoms combined with them means, from a practical standpoint, for example, a group such as cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl or the like.
In the present invention, the salts mean pharmaceutically acceptable salts and, from a practical standpoint, the salts of a cation, such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium or the like.
It is assumed that a compound according to the invention may exist in a form of two stereoisomers and the respective optical isomers thereof, since it contains one or two asymmetric carbon atoms on their structure. This invention, of course, includes any of such isomers.
The hydantoin derivatives provided by this invention are all novel compounds which have not been reported in the literature, and which have excellent effects in the treatment and prevention of the various chronic symptoms accompanying with the diabetes mellitus, that is, the complications of diabetes mellitus, for example, diabetic cataracts, diabetic neuropathy, fine blood-vessel lesions such as diabetic nephrosis and the like, diabetic retinopathy, and various arteriosclerotic blood-vessel lesions originating from diabetes mellitus.
Heretofore, there have been commercially available a number of antidiabetic drugs, such as those based on sulfonium urea, mesoxalates, guanidine derivatives or the like. These, however, are not medicine for the direct treatment of the diabetes mellitus, but a symptomatic medicine for the hyperglycemia.
It is fair to say, that there are few medicines for the treatment of various chronic symptoms and complications accompanying diabetes mellitus, for example, diabetic cataracts, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy and the like, and that there is no effective method for the treatment thereof. Particularly, there is essentially no medical treatment for cataracts which is a white turbidity of the crystalline lens.
Over a long period of time, a number of studies have been conducted to find effective medicines for such incurable diseases, but no successful ones have yet been found.
One of the objectives of such studies was to find an Aldose reductase inhibitor. In "Science", 182, 1146-8 (1973), J. H. Kinoshita et al. reported their theory that, in a patient suffering from the diabetes mellitus, the activity of the Aldose reductase in the crystalline lens in the eyes increases, sugars such as glucose and the like are introduced therein, and the sugars are reduced by enzymes into polyols such as sorbitol and the like, resulting in the accumulation of these polyols which are the main cause of stroma lesions of the crystalline lens, etc. Since then, the search for an Aldose reductase inhibitor based on the theory of J. H. Kinoshita has been extensively conducted.
Thus, Reinhard Sarges has found that particular hydantoin derivatives exhibit Aldose reductase inhibition (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 53653/78) etc., and among these derivatives, d-6-fluorospiro-[chromane-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2'5'-dione (general name "Sorbinil⃡) has been proposed.
We, also, have been engaged over a long period of time in studying numerous and varied compounds for the purpose of developing a remedy for such complications accompanying diabetic mellitus. In spite of these great difficulties, we have found at last that hydantoin derivatives represented by the following general formula: ##STR3## wherein X1 and X2, which may be the same or different, independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a lower alkoxy group, Y represents oxygen atom or sulfur atom, R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, independently represent a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or phenyl group, or they form a ring with a carbon atoms combined with them, excluding the case wherein the both R1 and R2 are hydrogen atom, and n represents an integer of 0 or 1, are very effective for the treatment of said incurable diseases.
The group of the compounds provided by this invention exhibits not only strong Aldose reductase inhibition activity but, surprisingly strong activity in vivo, which is worthy of special mention. Moreover, the toxicity of the group of the compounds provided by this invention is extremely weak, as is and also other functions such as the central function and the effect on the central nervous system and the like. This means that an extremely small dose is clinically acceptable, and is very important, in view of the fact that the continuous administration is necessarily required for the treatment of diabetic cataracts, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, fine blood vessel lesions such as diabetic nephrosis and the like, as well as complications such as various arteriosclerotic blood-vessel lesions originating from diabetes mellitus.
The compounds according to this invention are extremely valuable because there is essentially no remedy drug for such incurable diseases in the present time.
Therefore, an object of this invention is to provide novel compounds effective for chronic symptoms and complications accompanying diabetes mellitus, for example, diabetic cataracts, diabetic neuropathy, the diabetic retinopathy, fine blood-vessel lesions such as the diabetic nephrosis and the like, and various arteriosclerotic blood-vessel lesions originating from the diabetes mellitus.
Another object of this invention is to provide a process for the preparation of a novel compound effective for various chronic symptoms and complications accompanying diabetes mellitus, for example, diabetic cataracts, diabetic neuropathy, fine blood-vessel lesions such as diabetic nephrosis and the like, various arteriosclerotic blood-vessel lesion originating from the diabetes mellitus and diabetic retinopathy.
The compounds according to this invention can be prepared by varous processes. A typical process is exemplified as follows:
The compound according to this invention is prepared by condensation of three ingredients of (1) a compound represented by the formula [II]: ##STR4## wherein X1, X2, R1, R2, Y and n have the same meanings as defined above, (2) an alkali metal cyanide such as sodium cyanide, potassium cyanide, and (3) ammonium carbonate.
The examples of preferred solvents used in the reaction according to this invention include lower alkanoamides such as acetylamide, water miscible alkanols such as methanol, ethanol, and propanol, and cyclic ethers such as dioxane and tetrahydrofuran, lower alkylene glycols such as ethylene glycol and trimethylene glycol, and N,N-dialkylamides such as N,N-dimethylformamide and N,N-diethylformamide, etc.
Although the reaction according to this invention depends on the starting material represented by the above formula [II], the reaction is carried out preferably at a temperature of 50°-150° C. for the period of time from about 4 hours to about 4 days.
In the reaction according to this invention, the preferred proportions of the above starting materials (1), (2) and (3) is such that the alkali metal cyanide (2) and the ammonium carbonate (3) are used in an equivalent amount at least slightly in excess of the compound (1). After completion of the reaction, the subject material [I] according to this invention is isolated in the form of a readily recoverable precipitate by a conventional method, for example, by diluting the reaction mixture with water at first, and cooling the produced aqueous solution to the room temperature, then acidifying it.
When the subject material [I] is a 2-mono substituted derivative, it is expected to form two stereoisomers based on two asymmetric carbon atoms contained therein.
However, according to the process of this invention, one of the isomers is predominantly produced. The said isomer has higher activities such as the inhibition of sorbitol accumulation as described later than the other isomer which is produced in very small ratio. The process according to this invention can be therefore referred as a very preferable process.
In this process, the starting material of the general formula [II] may be prepared by various processes. The materials prepared by any processes can be, of course, used in this invention.
For example, the compound, 6-fluoro-2-methyl-4-chromanone of the formula [II] wherein X1 =H, X2 =6-F, R1 =H, R2 =CH3, n=1, Y=0, can be produced by condensing p-fluorophenol with crotonic acid in the presence of polyphosphoric acid to form a closed ring. The compound, 6-chloro-2-spiro-cyclohexan-4-chromanone of the formula [II] wherein X1 =H, X2 =6-Cl, n=1, Y=0, and both R1 and R2 form a cyclohexane ring, is produced by condensing 2-hydroxy-5-chloroacetophenone with cyclohexanone in the presence of pyrrolidine and the like, to form a closed ring.
The compound, 5-chloro-2,2-dimethyl-3-benzofuranone of the formula [II] wherein X1 =H, X2 =5-Cl, n=0, Y=0, R1 =R2 =CH3, is synthesized, for example, according to the reaction equation as follows: ##STR5##
The compound, 5-chloro-2-methyl-3-benzofuranone of the formula [II] wherein X1 =H, X2 =5-Cl, n=0, Y=0, R1 =H, R2 =CH3, is produced by the similar procedure as described above in the production of 5-chloro-2,2-dimethyl-3-benzofuranone, for example, according to the following reaction equation: ##STR6##
The compound, 6-chloro-2-methyl-4-thiochromanone of the general formula [II] wherein X1 =H, X2 =6-Cl, n=1, Y=S, R1 =H, R2 =CH3, is produced by condensing p-chlorothiophenol with crotonic acid in the presence of polyphosphoric acid to form a closed ring.
The compound, 6-chloro-2-phenyl-4-chromanone of the formula [II] wherein X1 =H, X2 =6-Cl, n=1, Y=0, R1 =H, R2 =phenyl group, is synthesized, for example, according to the reaction equation as follows: ##STR7##

The compounds provided by this invention are useful for the treatment and the prevention of various chronic symptoms and effects of diabetes mellitus and diabetic complications thereof, such as, for example, diabetic cataracts, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, various arteriosclerotic blood-vessel lesions originating from diabetes mellitus, and fine blood-vessel lesions such as diabetic nephritis etc., and hence, this invention is very valuable. The effects of the compounds of this invention will be explained in more detail.
As is apparent from Experiment 1 below, the compounds according to this invention give fairly high reduction and inhibition of sorbitol accumulation in the lens and the sciatic nerve of diabetic rats. As a control, a typical compound, 6-fluoro-spiro-[chroman-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2',5'-dione as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 53653/78 was selected. As shown in the following Experiments, the compounds according to this invention have an extremely superior effect on the inhibition of sorbitol accumulation, as compared with the control compound. As shown in the following Table 1, 6-fluoro-2-methyl-spiro-[chroman-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2',5'-dione and 6-chloro-2-methyl-spiro-[chroman-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2',5'-dione exhibit a superior effect on the inhibition of sorbitol accumulation, to the extent of about 2-10 times, in comparison with the control compound. In detail, the compounds according to this invention are considered to intensely act on the nervous system, since the comopounds according to the invention exhibit very superior inhibition of sorbitol accumulation in, among other, the sciatic nerve. This is particularly advantageous in neuropathy which is one of the incurable complications of diabetes mellitus.
The very superior effect of the compound according to this invention on the inhibition of sorbitol accumulation means that the effect is achieved by even a small dose. This is very important matter, because the continous administration is required in order to treat incurable complications of diabetes mellitus such as diabetic cataracts, the diabetic neuropathy and the like.
This is also similar to the case of Experiment 2 described later, with regard to the cataract formation in galactosemic rats. The compounds according to this invention remarkably delay the formation of cataract in galactosemic rats and reduce or considerably inhibit the accumulation of galactitol in the lens and the sciatic nerve. As is apparent from Experiment 2, the compounds according to this invention show a very low percentage in appearance of cataracts, and superior inhibition of galactitol accumulation, to the extent of above five times, as compared with the control compound.
As is apparent from Example 3 described later, the compounds according to this invention also exhibit very superior inhibition of aldose reductase.
Moreover, it has been found that the compounds provided by this invention have a relatively weak anti-metrazol action which is one of the indices of the action on the central nervous system, as compared with the control compound. Thus, those compounds have very great clinical merits because of few side effects, due to a weaker action on the central nervous system.
As described above, continuous administration over long period of time is required depending on the nature of the symptoms or complications to be treated. Therefore, the compounds according to this invention also have a high value in this respect.
The excellent pharmacological action of the compounds according to this invention are illustrated from a practical standpoint by the following Experiments with respect to typical compounds of this invention.
The compounds listed in Tables 1 and 2 were tested for the ability to reduce or inhibit the accumulation of sorbitol in the lens and the sciatic nerve of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats by the method of M. J. Peterson et al., [Metabolism, Vol. 28, No. 4, Supply. 1 (April), 456-461 (1979)]. There was selected, as the control, 6-fluoro-spiro-[chroman-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2',5'-dione, a typical compound described in the aforesaid Japanese Patent Application laid-open No. 53653/78. In this experiment, the amount of sorbitol accumulation in the lens and the sciatic nerve of the rat was measured 28 hours after induction of diabetes.
The compounds listed in Tables 1 and 2 were orally administered at, the dose levels indicated in the Tables, 4, 8 and 25 hours after the administration of the streptozotocin. The Table 1 shows the experiments conducted at dose levels of 0.2 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg, and the Table 2 shows the experiment conducted at dose levels of 10 mg/kg. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2, in term of inhibition of sorbitol accumulation (%) afforded by the test compounds, as compared with the case where no compound was administered.
Among the compounds in Tables 1 and 2, the compounds, 6-fluoro-2-methyl-spiro-[chroman-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2',5'-dione and 6-chloro-2-methyl-spiro-[chroman-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2',5'-dione represent the respective compounds which are predominantly produced in Examples 1 and 2 described later, these compounds being crystallized materials having melting points of 233°-235° C. and 283°-285° C., respectively.

The following examples illustrate the preferred embodiments of this invention. They are not, however, intended in any way to limit the scope of this invention.
11.2 G (0.1 mol) of para-fluorophenol and 17.2 g (0.2 mol) of crotonic acid were dissolved in 100 ml of polyphosphoric acid, and the solution was reacted with vigorously stirring at 120° C. for 8 hours. After cooling, the reaction solution was poured into 450 ml of iced 2N-sodium hydroxide solution, and the mixture was extracted with 500 ml of chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed with 2N-sodium hydroxide solution and with water, followed by drying over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off, and the residue was recrystallized from n-hexane in the amount of about ten times. There were thus obtained 5.8 g (yield: 32%) of the subject material, 6-fluoro-2-methyl-4-chromanone.
Melting point: 68°-69° C.
A 300 ml autoclave was charged with 10.8 g (0.06 mol) of 6-fluoro-2-methyl-4-chromanone produced by the process as described in the above paragraph (1), 120 g of acetamide, 11.7 g (0.18 mol) of potassium cyanide, and 37.4 g (0.39 mol) of ammonium carbonate. The contents were reacted with heating at 70° C. for 24 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was dissolved in 600 ml of water and acidified with hydrochloric acid. The crystalline mass deposited was recovered by filtration, and dissolved in 600 ml of aqueous 2N-sodium hydroxide solution. Active carbon was added to the mixture. The active carbon was removed by filtration and the filtrate was acidified with hydrochloric acid. Crystalline materials deposted were removed by filtration, and washed with water, dried, then recrystallized from ethyl alcohol. There were thus obtained 5.8 g (yield: 39%) of the subject compound, 6-fluoro-2-methyl-spiro-[chroman-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2',5'-dione having the melting point and the elementary analysis as follows:

Further, there was obtained from the mother liquor of recrystallization, a crystalline material having the melting point of 230°-232° C., which was one of the diastereomers of the subject compound.
The proportion of the previously described crystalline material to the latter crystalline material was 10:1. It has been found that, among the said diastereomers, the one which has the melting point of 233°-235° C. and is predominantly produced has higher activities in areas such as the inhibition of sorbitol accumulation by 3-5 times as compared with the other isomer which has the melting point of 230°-232° C.
Since the former crystalline 6-fluoro-2-methyl-spiro-[chromane-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2',5'-dione (melting point: 233°-235° C.) is dl-type product, the said product was subjected to optical resolution in accordance with the following procedure.
(1) An aqueous quinine methohydroxide solution was prepared from quinine, in accordance with the method as described in R. T. Major, J. Finkelstein, J. A. C. S., 63, 1368(1941). To 0.02 mol of the solution were added 120 ml of methanol solution containing 4.7 g (0.02 mol) of dl-6-fluoro-2-methyl-spiro-[chromane-4,4'-imidazolidine[-2',5'-dione. The resulting mixture was dried under reduced. The residue was dissolved in 100 ml of ethanol. The solution was concentrated to the volume of 35 ml, and the concentrated solution was allowed to stand. The crystalline mass deposited out was recovered by filtration, and was once more recrystallized from ethanol. There were thus obtained 2.4 g of crystalline N-methyl-quinium d-6-fluoro-2-methyl-spiro-[chromane-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2',5'-dione salt.
Melting point: 216°-217° C.
